Indonesia is vast and diverse—too alive to be uniformed, too strong to remain dependent. For too long, direction has been dictated from the center, as if the people were mere recipients, not the drivers of change. It’s time to change course.

The National Self-Reliance Movement was born from the belief that true transformation grows from the ground up—from the very soil walked upon by the people themselves. We stand on two foundations: self-reliance and decentralization—two pillars of a more just and democratic Indonesia.

Through writing, discussion, and real action, we open space for local voices, bold ideas, and the courage to move without waiting for orders. We bring no sweet promises, only a place to think, to grow, and to move together.

I invite you to be part of this new narrative.
Because the future is not shaped in elite rooms,
but in villages, narrow alleys,
and in the courage of people who choose to stand on their own feet.
